What this bill would do

The "Stopping a Rogue President on Trade Act" aims to change how trade duties and quotas are handled. It seeks to terminate existing duties established by specific Executive Orders, namely Executive Orders 14257, 14193, and 14194. The bill would require the President to obtain congressional approval through a joint resolution before imposing or increasing duties, quotas, or tariff-rate quotas. It also requires this approval for suspending or withdrawing trade agreement concessions. Certain exceptions exist, such as duties related to antidumping and specific provisions of the Trade Act of 1974.
